KALEID Gallery is proud to present two new solo exhibitions by Leslie Ann Rice and Sara Tomasello for the month of September.
Circus Act sculptures by Leslie Ann Rice
A mutt-ley crew of characters explore the circus of popular culture, touching upon the freakish tendencies of human nature.
Looking through the Glass paintings by Sara Tomasello
Through her paintings, Sara Tomasello builds on themes of intimacy
and the unity of opposites. Her characters are symbols for the light
and dark aspects of human nature. Using a vibrant color palette and
inspired by universal mythological themes, Sara portrays the emotional
impact of the world she sees and experiences it in her acrylic
paintings. There is a story behind each piece and it begins; Once upon
time. Viewers are invited to look through the glass that Sara views the
world and reflect on your own experiences of the world.
Aritsts’ Reception: Friday,…

KALEID Gallery presents two new solo exhibitions by Michelle Waters and Jonathan Perea
Musings From the Wastelandby Michelle Waters
The paintings in this series by Bay Area artist Michelle Waters are influenced by the nightmarish imagery of Hieronymus Bosch, Edward Abbey’s writings and her work as a wildlife rehabilitator and environmental activist. Her art deconstructs the assumption of human superiority by showing what might transpire if animals took control over the fate of the planet. Animals demolishing the Glen Canyon Dam and wildlife laying waste to a bulldozer are some of the characters who populate her paintings.
Convergenceby Jonathan Perea
Subatomic abstract realism: A worldwide acceleration where science and spirituality dances to the tune of the cosmos. The illusion of duality unveiled a new beginning.
Exhibit Dates: August 5-26, 2011
